Correct power steering fluid for 1992 900

My wife's 1992 900 is leaking power steering fluid. The car is being repaired next week and I have tried to buy Saab power steering fluid as required by the car's handbook.
My Saab dealer has told me that they do not sell it, that Saab power steering fluid is actually Castrol Dextron 3, and that they always use Dextron 2.
Does anyone know what the difference is between the three types ? Will anything other than the Saab oil damage the car ? Why do Saab say that ATF can only be used in an emergency ?
I want to get this right. I have previously managed to get Saab steering fluid for all my 9000s. I know that it looked thinner and a completely different colour when compared with ATF.
